Educational programme for schools

In the society of nowadays the creativity is no
longer artists’ privilege but a prevailing attitude in finding solutions to
problems in each and every realm of the human activity. Contemporary visual
production, presented through theme-centred exhibitions, is a subject favourable
to concentrate and develop visual thinking upon, establishing a creative
relationship between visual art and education, emancipating a global, creative
thinking which is a key to understanding contemporary society and a condition
for being integrated within it.

Modern concepts of education continuously
examine the efficacy of various forms and methods of work in the process of learning.
Frontal modes of work, dominant until recently, based exclusively on the verbal
methods suitable to be conducted within a classroom, are slowly giving way to
approaches that are welcoming students’ research, independent thinking and information
connecting. In order to build more flexible and practice-oriented knowledge,
theme-centred approach is recommended, complemented with active, cooperative
and participative methods of work. With this as objective, it is necessary to put
together knowledge from different areas, i.e. to arrange related contents of particular
subjects into meaningful wholes. For this sort of approach to education, in
certain parts of the education process, one may make use of museum collections
and current exhibitions.
